help!! (9700 pro)
I just bought a Radeon 9700 Pro.
After about 3 hours, I found info on the web about it not working because of the E7205 chipset im using (Gigabyte 8INXP) If you know about this problem, should I just bring the 9700 Pro back to Best Buy and get a Geforce4 ti 4200 128MB or is there a better card that works with the e7205 set??? Has there been any fixes to this problem yet? |

I've never heard of the problem.
Post a link to where you found the info and I'll check it out. |

what's the problem? It obviously works right now, or have you not installed it yet?

Have you tried Gigabyts site...It should be obviously mentioned...
The only board I have heard about having issues with a 9xxx card is the A7N8X...for some reason or another.

The solution to this problem is to disable Fast Writes, or force the card to run at AGP 4x. This is a known glitch in the E7205 chipset, not the mainboard or video card.

I just ordered the Asus P4G8X(E7205), and I make it a point to know about possible conflicts with my new components before I run into them. I also have a 9700 Pro. I found out about it simply by doing a little research on Asusboards.com, and other places. And I've only told it three times, twice to the same person.
